Why You Should Worry About Bed Bugs
When you check into an Airbnb, you expect a comfortable, clean space to relax — not an encounter with hidden pests like bed bugs or dust mites. But the truth is, even the tidiest-looking room can host these uninvited guests, especially in places with high guest turnover.
You may not see them, but you might feel them — in the form of itchy skin, unexpected bites, or unexplained allergy symptoms. Knowing where to look and what signs to check can help you stay protected on your travels.
Let’s take a look at five common hiding spots where bed bugs and dust mites love to linger — and what you can do about it.
1. Mattresses & Bed Frames
This is ground zero for bed bugs and a paradise for dust mites.
Bed bugs often hide in the seams of the mattress, bed base, and even the headboard.
Dust mites burrow into the mattress, feeding on dead skin and thriving in humid conditions.
How to identify:
- Look for tiny black spots or reddish stains on bedsheets or mattress corners.
- You might find shed skins or even spot tiny moving bugs with a flashlight.
Allergic reactions (sneezing, itchy eyes, or eczema) can be a sign of dust mites
️ 2. Sofas & Fabric Furniture
Upholstered furniture in Airbnb units can be a hotspot — especially if it’s rarely deep cleaned.
Where bugs hide:
- In the gaps between cushions
- Along seams and under the cushions
- Behind or beneath the sofa frame
What to check:
- Pull back the cushions and look for dark specks or small bugs.
- Pay attention to any strange, musty odor (a sign of infestation).
- If you or your kids develop itchy skin after sitting, it might be due to mites.
3. Curtains and Drapes
These often-overlooked soft surfaces are ideal for mites and occasional bed bug activity — especially if the curtains are thick or floor-length.
What to look for:
- Check pleats and folds for dust buildup or bug shells.
- If curtains are close to the bed, it increases the chance they host bugs too.
4. Luggage and Bags
Your luggage can both carry bugs in and take them back home. Bed bugs are notorious for hitching rides on bags and shoes.
Risk signs:
- Avoid placing your bag directly on the bed or floor.
- After traveling, inspect the inside lining of your suitcase for bugs or small specks.
- If you’re moving between multiple stays, your bag might accumulate pests along the way.
5. Rugs, Carpets & Floor Mats
These cozy-looking fabrics are breeding grounds for dust mites — especially in warm, humid Airbnb units.
Warning signs:
- Allergy symptoms (sneezing, runny nose, or skin rashes) flaring up indoors
- Babies or toddlers showing signs of discomfort after crawling or playing on rugs
- Visible dust buildup in corners or near furniture
